I think that the kickers are the following two statements:

Nenshi has said the province appears uncomfortable with Calgary's transit grants all going to a single project.

There is no guarantee that any specific project or project type will be approved for funding.

So basically the province can approve how their money is used, so if the province doesn't want it used on the SE LRT, it won't be used on the SE LRT.

I don't think that anyone in Calgary would like to see the money go unused, and I don't think that McIver, Bronconnier, or anyone else would have been able to do anything else with it either.
